Blood clotting tests during heart surgery and patient outcomes
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how a special blood test done during heart surgery relates to patient outcomes. The test is done at the bedside (point-of-care) to measure how well the blood clots. The study is a retrospective chart review, meaning researchers will look back at medical records of patients who had this test during their heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 18 years old or older

This study tests a new blood test that measures how well your platelets (clotting cells) work to predict if you might bleed more after heart surgery. The goal is to catch bleeding problems early and help doctors manage them better.
This study examines how heart-lung machines used during heart surgery affect blood platelets (clotting cells) and the body's inflammatory response. Understanding these changes may help doctors better manage bleeding and inflammation after cardiac surgery.
This study looks at how well platelets work during heart surgery using a special test called thromboelastography. It may help doctors understand and manage bleeding risks in people having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
This study compares two methods of testing blood clotting during surgery. The goal is to see which helps doctors diagnose bleeding problems faster in patients having high-risk surgeries.
This study looks at how managing blood products during heart surgery with a heart-lung machine affects the risk of red blood cell breakdown in children. The goal is to find safer ways to handle blood during these procedures.
This trial tests a medicine called 4F-PCC to stop bleeding during complex heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It could help people who have bleeding problems after the surgery.
